Norwegian Encore Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall the Norwegian Encore is a beautiful ship with great food, excellent entertainment, and plenty of onboard activities for people of all ages. I would highly recommend trying the go carts. The are surprisingly fast.

Overall, it was a great experience. Alaska is beautiful, and cruising is a nice way to travel.

Beautiful weather! Great food and drinks. Too many passengers for the ship’s pool, deck and hot tubs! Gracious Staff!

This was a relaxing cruise for me and one that I would pick for a slow, chill vacation. To me, it isn’t for active kids/teenagers. I will plan another cruise with just myself, the spa and a balcony!

Panama 🇵🇦 Canal was awesome!! Our stop in Columbia was interesting and beautiful!!

The best ever! So glad I didn’t cancel. Everything was amazing!

One of my best cruise experiences, such a fun week on an amazing ship.

First winter cruise escaping the cold NE weather and was pleasantly surprised to find 80-85 degree sunshine in all ports visited...great time onboard, and a truly great getaway on the Getaway!

New ship, but most of the bugs seem worked out. While heavily populated (4000 guests!) never really seemed over crowded. Elevators are a challenge at peak times, especially in fore (so go to the aft ones and walk a little more). Would take this ship again.

A great relaxing cruise with great food, a never ending flow of drinks and fantastic entertainment. The cruise director Silas made sure that every moment was enjoyable and put in a great cruise. Make sure you check out both Chior of Man and Kinky Boots. Don't miss the fun game shows in the atrium and the pool deck!

Fantastic from start to finish. I felt like I was on a luxury cruise line. Beautiful ship. Great food, entertainment and venues.

Amazing new ship. Great entertainment. Overall well done.

Have had "adventurous" transatlantic before that I have absolutely loved but this was not great trip. I liked the ship (so many bugs or questionable design choices) and would liked the Ship again if we traveled in warmer climates & calmer seas. It seemed were obviously using us to test the ship on it's Inaugural trip. If the Captain had taken a more warmer/southern route avoiding the storms and allowed us to enjoy the facilities (deck facilities & pools closed 75% of the time) the trip would have been wonderful. It didn't help having to wait and wait in NY so they could have a "photo-opt" with the Escape or the loss of the last night the day before disembarkation day for passport control (they made us empty the ship then get back on - the crew tried to make it as painless as possible - loved them for that). We had an OK time but it could have been so much better.

Alaska is beautiful. Loved it. Wouldn’t recommend NCL as my first choice for cruising Alaska.

Bring a water bottle. Be prepared for daily fees and port fees. Don’t be afraid to go out and watch the daily atrium entertainment

The FOOD ! The weather . Our overview of the cruise was good. Had lots of fun, just too many people I’m bored. We love the weather we love the ride is smooth ocean with pretty blue met new people on there on the cruise that was nice.

Water is not included on drink package!! All good activities/restaurants are limited so you need to book it in advance The pool area is so small Resturant have almost same menus

What an amazing cruise! Alaska is amazing. I took so many pictures that just don't capture the majesty.

It’s Alaska I could have been on a barge and loved it. Great ship great service Fantastic vacation

Loved Alaska! Would love to go back and add a land portion as the time in port was just too tight. Knowing what I know now, I would have looked for a cruise with more time in each port, but it was a lovely, memorable cruise just the same.
